Dead Heat Audiobook

" I really liked Dick Francis earliest books, but then he went downhill for a while so I stopped reading them. This was his latest, but not as good as his earlier books. "

" I love Dick Francis. My Mom used to read them all the time, and she got me started. One time I read 5 books of his on 5 days. Good stuff. Hope I can remember titles. "

" It's been a long time since I've read a Dick Francis novel, and I think I have to agree with the reviewer who said 'this isn't Dick Francis.' I did enjoy it, however, most likely because of the 'gimmick' in this one, as I have a background in Food Science. It wasn't as snappy and witty as the old DF but a decent mindless read all the same. "

" Another good read from Dick Francis. Simple. Straightforward. Doesn't give you a headache trying to follow the story. "

" This was a wonderful mystery that had me stumpted the whole time. I love how he incorporates the horse racing world with the culinary world. I will never tire from reading his books. A must read! "

" Haven't read any Francis in a very long time, but see he has some new ones written with his son. Not a great collaboration, I must say. It's OK, and sorta Francis-like, but missing something for sure. Worth a read for Francis-freaks and for others wanting something quick and light, but doesn't hold up to his earlier books (which were pretty light themselves, but had *something* that this doesn't). "

" How great to have Dick Francis back, this time with his son. Best DF in a long time. I sure learned to cook beans well!!!!!!!! Enjoyable. "

" All Dick Francis' books are good. This one is full of suspense. "

" When I started this book, I thought to myself with a smile, "Oh yeah, this is why I love to read." Dick Francis is one of my favorite authors. He's like an old friend adn I really like spending time with him. He is now writing with his son. A winning team. "

" Although the book dragged a bit in the middle, the plot was zesty. Humor in this book was great, wry and witty. I don't remember a Francis book with so much humor--perhaps it is because his son is co-author. "

" One of Dick Francis's best. The chef and the murder based on tainted food was intriguing.A fine little mystery by Dick and his son, Felix. "

" Max Moreton first tries to find out who is trying to ruin his reputation as a chef and his restaurant, and then who is trying to kill him. "

" Workmanlike Francis. "

" Not bad. Mystery at a horse track. "

" Greater love hath no man than this a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 That pretty much sums up this book. "

" Audio book. Decent book. The chick latched on too tight too quick and the chef is a weird hero. "

" Dick Francis writes good stories most ex jockeys couldn't but he writes better than most mystery writers too this book is up to his high standards "

" Select Editions Vol. 4, 2008 Same old Dick Francis stuff, even with his son helping write. Very simply written as if to a child. This one involved a chef and restaurant catering to the race track crowd. "
